I have too much data to go through and check if all the data is the same.

All data is important.

Then I think you will also have to write a reverse migration script to convert all the data back into the old format. I suggest you do this to a different server than the original server. Then use mysql-table-checksum to verify you got exactly the same data back (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqltoolkit).

I think this is your only option because you must compare the data to the authoritative copy of it, in the original format, if you want to make sure it is all correct in the new format.

If you can convert both directions without loss, I think that is as strong a guarantee as you can get.
